Well, that is the issue, now isn't it? The issue is that DBAs are not part of the development cycle. Its the way the application coding world has been set up. Its not the developer's fault. Its not the fault of the DBAs. But, I can tell what does not help bridge the gap. Talking with disdain about developers every chance one might get.

If communication between DBAs and developers was a constant requirement, this would not be the case.
